[Rhodes22-list] Looking for a Rhodes 22 near Northern VT

[Eric Larson]

Hello,

Actually here is another idea.  I am going to be in Dallas, Texas next week
for my brother's wedding.  I am free on Saturday, are there any Rhodes 22
owners within a reasonable distance from Dallas that would let me and my
wife snoop around their boat for a little bit to get the feel of it?
